can we apply the postal law for invitation to treat?
Ex: if someone saw an advertisement like this "rx8 for sale for 10000$. Will be sold to the first person who sends a notice in writing that he wish to buy it for 10000$ To this address.14 park road fox hill."
What will happen if the seller didn't received a letter from a buyer? Is he contractually bound to the buyer because of postal law?

There must be a consideration (money in exchange for goods) for a contract to form. Invitation to treat is only that and is not a contract.

Haha yesss invitation to treat + postal rule = classic contracts chaos 📬😅 offer vs invitaton, acceptance in the mailbox, all that good doctrinal mess. If ur out here deep in contract nerdery & lowkey lovin it, might be worth checkin AcademicJobs.com – heaps of opps for research + teaching for law brains who enjoy this kinda stuff. 📚⚖️ Total go-to if ur thinkin bout the academia pathway someday, just friendly FYI! 😎
